adjustastairs vs wooden stairs
AdjustaStairs are used globally on construction sites for a huge range of applications. Having these stairs onsite ready to go reduces the time and cost of building a wooden or scaffold stair.
NEEd proof?
Upon doing some research with a construction company in NZ, we determined that the cost of labour and material in building a wooden stair is more than double the cost of an AdjustaStair in almost every scenario over the course of a project!
Our research showed that the average cost of material and labour for a wooden stair up a 2m face is $2340.
A 9-step AdjustaStair for the same 2m elevation costs $1259.
that's a saving of $1,081 for a 2m stair!*
So over the course of a project, if 20 stairs were required, the savings could be upward of $20K!
*these numbers are approximate and based off the costings worked out for a 2m stair access.
take away:
Having AdjustaStairs onsite can prove invaluable when access is required quickly. Instead of spending hours constructing wooden stairs or even cutting these out in a batter, an AdjustaStair can be fixed into place in minutes. This minimises downtime and ensures a smooth workflow!
